Here at Slabbed we always have fun examining the “journalistic facts” conveyed by the local main stream media against what those facts strongly suggest along which how those facts are being reported by the various local media outlets. The technical expression is take-away which google defines as “a key fact, point, or idea to be remembered, typically one emerging from a discussion or meeting.”

Hoppner gave the aldermen a memo outlining his complaints before Tuesday’s meeting and said Police Chief Mark Dunston agrees with him. Dunston, however, was out of town, he said, and did not sign the memo. Dunston called a press conference for 10 a.m. Thursday and is expected to announce the city will have the parade.

A long time ago I had someone from the country through my office that had some experience doing real estate developments in a couple of rural areas in Mississippi. This person got a nice piece of land in a more metropolitan area for what he thought was a steal but he found out the hard way that dirt roads, fifty gallon drums for septic along with no plans for sidewalks, curbs or gutters would not fly in the nicer locales that actually enforce codes and zoning. Stuck with overpriced land and without access to the CIAP program, I imagine the parcel that was such a steal ended up selling at a big loss.

Now back to the 435 East Beach. A best two of three falls cage match between Mayor Moran and Trinity Walker on pay per view has potential IMHO.

Let’s count some apples shall we. Dad gets off very light with house arrest after the family drug running enterprise blew up in the 1990s while son Eddie got 7 for his participation. Now Tadd nabs client funds outta the law firm trust account and is disbarred. How times have changed over the last 20 years In Stone County as Boss Hogg finally passed. Moving right along.

Given that misprision of felony is not a major felony (every felony is major, some more than others) it is very possible Ziegler gets house arrest. Here is the salient text of 18 U.S.C. §4:

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
